Built with obsessive craft, visible rigor, and cultural intent.
Mission
We build technology that gives people more life, not more friction.
The mission is simple: design systems with enough rigor, clarity, and taste that they remove drag, increase capacity, and hold up under real use. Healing, governance, media, and operations are the proving grounds.
Human first
Every product is built to reduce friction and return time, focus, and agency to the people using it.
Engineered thoroughly
Infrastructure, auth, monitoring, and deployment discipline are part of the product, not cleanup after it.
Built to compound
We ship systems that can mature into durable platforms with clear operations, measurable progress, and room to scale.
Services
What I build for you.
I take on a small number of engagements at a time. The right fit matters more than volume. Everything below is built on the same stack and discipline as the 27 apps already in production.
Platform Build
Production SaaS foundation, delivered.
You get a production-grade Cloudflare Workers backend, Neon Postgres via Hyperdrive, self-managed JWT auth, CI/CD pipeline, Sentry monitoring, and a deployed worker — not a prototype. The same architecture running 27 apps at $9.11/month total infra cost.
- Workers + Hono API, strict TypeScript, ESM-only build
- Database, migrations, and row-level security from day one
- GitHub Actions CI with deploy, health checks, and quality gates
- Ops runbook so you can own it after handoff
Best for: seed-stage founders and indie builders replacing expensive AWS/Vercel setups or starting fresh with no technical co-founder.
Start a conversationAI Pipeline Integration
LLM features wired into your product correctly.
Multi-provider failover, streaming, tool calling, cost metering. You get running code — not a strategy deck. I've caught a 100× billing bug in production before a single invoice was generated. That's the lens I bring.
- Anthropic → Grok → Groq fallover chain with per-provider cost tracking
- Streaming SSE responses, tool calling, and agentic loop scaffolding
- Fail-closed deploy preflight so a ghost gateway never silently degrades your product
Best for: product teams that have an AI feature to ship but no bandwidth to build the infrastructure correctly.
Start a conversationAI Video Automation
Script trigger → produced video. Weekly, automatically.
ElevenLabs narration, Remotion render, ffmpeg encode, Cloudflare Stream delivery — wired end-to-end so a template trigger drops a finished video without manual production work. Already running in production on Capricast.
- LLM headline and narration script generation per topic or schedule
- Professional MP3 narration via ElevenLabs, stored in R2
- Remotion/ffmpeg render pipeline on GitHub Actions, delivered to Stream
Best for: content creators, course builders, and media brands that produce regular video and want it automated without sacrificing production quality.
Start a conversationWhy the enterprise background matters
25+ years operating Fortune 500 UC platforms — 700+ branch migrations, disaster recovery, incident authority. That ops experience shapes every platform I build: runbooks exist, rollback paths are tested, and nothing ships without a health check. You get startup speed with enterprise operational discipline.

Deploy Discipline
CI green ≠ done. Curl 200 = done.
- Every deploy is verified by a live
curlagainst the custom domain before CI marks success. - Every PR goes through TypeScript strict, ESLint zero-warnings, 90%+ coverage, and a health-check gate.
- No
--no-verify, no@ts-ignore, no suppressed warnings — issues are fixed at root cause.
Operations
$9.11/month. 27 apps. Solo.
27 apps live
$9.11/mo infra
Zero vendor lock-in
Cloudflare Workers free tier handles most traffic. Costs stay predictable at any scale because the architecture was designed that way from day one.

Engineering Judgment
How we think when it matters.
Billing integrity · caught pre-production
100× LLM cost billing bug — found and fixed before any invoice landed
The LLM metering layer computed costs in cents but applied spending caps in dollars — a 100× under-billing error that would have allowed completely unchecked AI spend. Caught during code review, fixed, and regression-tested before it ever reached production. The kind of problem that only surfaces when you own the full stack and treat every number as load-bearing.
